Hi groffies, I was trying to convert a very small input file like:
aaaa bbbb cccc dddd into .dvi. I used the command: groff -Tdvi foo > foo.dvi I get an error message saying: "the file you want open contains non-valid characters". The output-file like this: \F7\00\E00\00\00\E1\D8\00\00\E8\00\8B\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00 \00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00 \00\00\00\00\00\FF\FF\FF\FF\8D\EFpapersize=8.268in,11.693in\F3\00K\F1`y \00\00 @\00\00 @\00cmr10\AB\9F\FFC\CCaaaa\90 kbbbb\90 kcccc\90 odddd\8E\8D\EF color gray 0\8E\8C\F8\00\00\00\00\E00\00\00\E1\D8\00 \00\E8\00\00%\A4\00 \00\00\F3\00K\F1`y\00\00 @\00\00 @\00cmr10\F9 \00\00\00\9E\DF\DF\DF\DF\DF\DF When I use the command : groff -Tdvi -mlatin9 foo > foo.dvi I get no error message. The output is exactly the same. I know Latex only a little bit. But this doesn't like an input-file for Latex. Could somebody explain to me? Thanks a lot :o) Gregoire
